That ia all I ask. Butte is, considered the dark horce of the Union association, hut I think that we will luako them go from the start. The ndttc' club has been unfortunate unfortu-nate In 'Its failure to gH practice panifis this s'eason, and lias mot or peeri but ono Union association club during the- training season. In Provo. our team played a few practice games with Provo amateur olwbs. but had no :n rjj games with the ONrepllon of iho contest with Cliff Blankcnshlp's Murray team. This will ho my first year In this league, but from the quality of ball said, lo have been played here I am certain that tho coming season will ho a fast one. The present Butte team could show any class P. or C team a hard battle. To beslh with. I have two splendid catchers, whu will rank with the best In the' leagi'c. Lewis and Wlllard will' be my backstops, and both are good 1ltterfl as well as fielders. Lewis has had much experience and has seen service !n both the Coast anil Northwestern North-western leagues. Roll Robliifcon, Fslev McOroery. Jack' FTaila and John Fitserald will be the pitching staff of thc Butte club for ijhe tart. livery man knows his busjritfs. and I -don't believe there Is a tulrler In the west who can match upiwith Halla as a brainy hurler.

Johnny Pondleton. the little Salt "Lake favor-Uo. favor-Uo. will cover second. Walt McClelland, McClel-land, formerly of the California league, will play third, while George Smith, , the sensational shortstop from San Bprnardlno, will look after thc short field. My outfield will consist of Cliff Marshall. Nick Maggio and f. ,- Rossback, Marshall and Do Maggio . worn members of thc Dutto club last year, while Rossback played In tlje Canadian league. Marshall is undoubtedly un-doubtedly the greatest outfielder I have over seen, and will sure go up. Ho Is in a .class by himself. |
